The picture must be on the internet (not on your computer). Right-click on the picture and choose "open image in new window". The url of the picture is what you insert between the quotes in the examples given above.

If you are using Internet Exploere, here's a simple way of finding examples of how all photos etc are posted on FR;

1. Find a photo in a thread. Any photo. Note the poster's name. 2. Click on the menu "View" and from the drop down menu choose "Source". 3. The HTML syntax for the entire thread will appear. (mine appears in a notepad). 4. Go up to "Edit" and "find", or simply do a search for that poster's name, until it brings you to the post with the photo. 5. You will see the HTML line for posting the photo, containing the address for the photo. (If you copy and paste the line into your own reply and click preview, you will see their photo show up in your post. )

Note that in order to post a photo, it has to be already posted somewhere on the internet, and all you need to do is point to it's address for it to show up in your post.
